VN Others Completed If You Love Me, Then Say So! [v1.0] [Chuablesoft]

[Deleted member 1104351]

Does someone know a walkthrough? I don't know how to get the CG's that I'm missing

 

[MagnaSonic3000]

I'd like this game more if it wouldn't crash when it felt like it as I'm literally clicking for it to boot up.

 

[Sifr Bliss]

Is there any ways to fix the song on every credits videos after every confessions and endings? Because it seems the song crashes after first time to play but in second time it was ok except the last part of the song in credits
I played on win7 64bit anyway

"Unfortunately you can't go out with Aoi, Eri, or Maya. Just hope this game is successful enough in the Fairy Realm to release an expansion."

Ha. Ah ha. Ahaha.

 

[MagnaSonic3000]

And here I wanted to make babies with Maya.

 

[KevinBlue18]

That's the point.

I'm not reading Japanese, i'm reading English. I'm reading them for a story not for the culture. Again, i'm British, not Japanese the honorifics put me off and they have no place in an English translation.

If I cared about them, i'd learn Japanese.

But it changes the portrayed expression and the feeling of the setting especially since the location of story is in Japan. It would be like removing title "Mr" which is the equivalent to "San" ("Chan" is the cutesy version) they are both honorifics.

 

[KevinBlue18]

While I think that Honorifics are important in VN with japanese Origin, I accept the opinion of @Avaron1974. Though I have to say, when a translator thinks he has to "westernize" a japanese VN to make it more "appealing" to the western community, you get what you got with "If my heart had wings". Totally changed story-parts, it was a very poorly done job. And of the people I know, not one of them liked the "westernized" version of that game and was more than happy to apply the restoration-patch.

The same with this "dude"-thing... That is just retarded in my opinion, a better way would have been some other nickname if one is adamant about not using the onii-chan... though it clashes for me in VN with Voice-Acting like this one. The same goes for the Yuki/Yuuki thing. Since they mean different things. Yuki, depending on the kanji, means happiness or snow. While Yuuki, again depending on the kanji its written with, means excellence, superiority, gentleness or distant, leisurely. True if you don't know it, it doesn't make a difference for you... But if it gets mentioned in the story, what the name means, it makes quite a big difference, if only in terms of correctness in our western eyes (not initially knowing what the name means).

I can just talk for me, but I like the japanese VN's how they are, with honorifics and the cultural/social background they have. If I wanted to read a westernized story, I would read one with western Origin and not bother with stories with its origins from the east. Another approach would be just to say: "You don't like it? Do it yourself the way you like it." And it's not meant to point at one specifically in this thread but that's what I think about people that seem not open minded to other customs and/or rules to me.

I agree and feel the same way about everything you said. Stories (especially from Japan) that are westernized from another country instead of being localized.

 

[The Pink Menace]

I'm fine with making cultural changes for the sake of better comprehension in the west when it's necessary. That said, you gotta use tact in those decisions. Otherwise you get things like characters referring to rice balls as donuts.

 

[MagnaSonic3000]

Pokemon. Never forget.

 

[PMR]

I'm surprised there's not a proper guide up for this yet to all the routes,too new maybe?
Also how the hell do you get the other flowers?

There are guides but due to how the game is they are pretty big.

You must be registered to see the links

You must be registered to see the links

Neither of those are mine, both linked on VNDB, if you get confused about anything then ask on there I haven't used them so can't help.

 

[MagnaSonic3000]

I just kinda gunned it until I got one of them.

 

[ArkaneKannon]

It took a moment but once you lock onto a route, the rest fall into place. Never played a vn like this. Threw me for a real loop. lol

 

[MagnaSonic3000]

Yeah the route itself still takes place on the day you confess, so it's kinda weird how it just transitions into it.

 

[grimlocker]

For some reason I can't hear voices but i can hear the music.
Is Anyone having the same problem or have any ideas on how to fix the voices so I can hear them thanks.

 

[MagnaSonic3000]

I've never seen the voices mess up, the only issue I have is fighting with it to boot up. For some reason it stops crashing if you move the save folder out of the game.

 

[RareDucky]

I can't download the patch, it seems to have been removed... Is it really necessary?

 

[MagnaSonic3000]

It just does some dialogue changes because who the fuck says dude during sex, and I think names were flipped around for what ever reason.

 

[The Pink Menace]

Reminds me of that one VN - I think it was called Wild Romance - where during the sex scene with the tanooki girl she says “I can use your sperm… to make babies, yo.”

 

[radacazz]

You lose a lot of nuance if you do that. A translation should preserve the feel of the dialogue. Oni chan might translate into big brother, but who the hell addresses their sibling like that in English? "Big brother, can you help me with my math homework?" Or would you rather have their relationship dynamics changed into a western one where they would just use the first name to address an older sibling? I would rather not have the translator change the script like that. Honorifics follow the same logic.

I agree that its dumb when there are english alternatives though. There is nothing lost by translating Kaa-san into mom, but they still use it for some reason.

it is ok to preserve the feeling, but it should be done wisely. It is better to remove the oni-chan than translating it into dude lol. and it is better to change the script if it feels awkward for those who are reading. Then if you want to preserve the original feeling, play it in japanese. It can't be otherwise. The complexive feel should emerge nevertheless in a good translation, or even in the story itself. It is not necessary to obsessively repeat honorifics, it is not something familiar to the wester culture. We get it, it's her brother. No need to end every sentence with that title. But in some moments other references to being siblings should be implied somehow. What I'm saying in the end it's just that virtue lies in the middle, Aristotle told us.
